A copy of a resolution, adopted at the bi-annual convention of the Democratic Party of South Carolina on May 17, 1944, pledging to continue the South Carolina Democratic Party as a party of and for white Democrats only and that "no negro shall be admitted to membership in our party." The resolution is written in direct opposition to the formation of the rival Progressive Democratic Party of South Carolina that sought permission to send delegates to the 1944 Democratic National Convention in Chicago, Illinois. The resolution has been annotated and a section that states that "electors shall not be chosen by the State Executive Committee as they had been chosen in the past" is underlined.
